Looks like whatever goes wrong happens before the config is even parsed, so 
fatal fails cos it cant log.

The quickest way to figure out wtf is probably to modify pdns-pipe-runner.rb 
lines 23,24 and make it print to STDERR, then as the pdns user just run 
pdns-pipe-runner.rb and you should get something more useful to STDERR

Okay - it's very RH centric and the default logfile went somewhere it shouldn't 
have.  Fixed now.

Also I get:

Unknown config parameter stats_dir
Unknown config parameter keepstats

But things work now at least.

I'm getting the same error. However I've changed to print STDERR, but I got 
result 

Runner loop exited: 
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/ruby-pdns-0.5.1/lib/pdns/runner.rb:138: Invalid next
/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/ruby-pdns-0.5.1/lib/pdns/runner.rb:143: Invalid next

/var/lib/gems/1.9.1/gems/ruby-pdns-0.5.1/lib/pdns/runner.rb

Please advice
